SPEAKER: Q. No. 101. Dr. K. Kamaraj – not present. … (Interruptions) HON. SPEAKER: Shri Sher Singh Ghubaya is not there. Shri Dushyant Singh. … (Interruptions) SHRI DUSHYANT SINGH (JHALAWAR-BARAN): Madam Speaker, tourism contributes about seven per cent to the GDP and is a big contributor to overall employment, around 12 per cent, in the country. … (Interruptions) It also contributes significantly to the foreign exchange earnings of the country. Hence, there is a need that we consider tourism as a full-fledged industry. So, my question is whether the Government is considering to introduce a national policy for Special Tourism Zones on the lines of the Special Economic Zones as has already been done in a few States of India, like Madhya Pradesh and Kerala and also in our neighbouring country, Sri Lanka. What kinds of incentives are being planned by the Government for these Special Tourism Zones? SHRIMATI NIRMALA SITHARAMAN: Madam, whilst I understand the importance of the question raised by the hon. Member, the Question that has been asked here refers to the existing Special Economic Zones. As a result, I think, it is a bit away from the main Question. Whilst I will be quite happy to answer that, but today may not be the occasion. 12 PROF. SAUGATA ROY (DUM DUM): Madam, setting up of Special Economic Zone, started with the law coming in force in 2005, requires huge tracts of land which have to be acquired from farmers. Some States, like West Bengal, have taken a policy not to allow Special Economic Zones in their territories. I would like to know from the hon. Minister that in view of the fact that land is scarce in the country and not available in large tranches, whether the Government plans to do away with the Special Economic Zones and whether the benefits from the Special Economic Zones outweigh the problems faced in acquisition of land from the farmers. SHRIMATI NIRMALA SITHARAMAN: Madam Speaker, lands acquired under the SEZs are acquired by the State Governments. In 2007, it was made plain that no fertile lands can be acquired and no compulsory acquisition of lands for the SEZs can happen. Wherever they have been acquired, they acquired barren or infertile lands and, if for reasons of contiguity, one crop lands may be bought or acquired, Comment: Contd by b1 but to a very limited extent. Comment: Minister cd.. (b1/1105/ak-bks) As a result, this issue of lands being acquired compulsorily is just not a question. It does not arise at all. But, however, land being a State subject, it is for the State Governments to take a position on it. The Centre does not allot lands at all. bÉì.

SHRIMATI NIRMALA SITHARAMAN : Madam, review of SEZs, like the review of many other things, which the Government does, is a continuous process.
